Default Waterproof cover for amps

In one of my marathon YouTube watching sessions a couple years back I came across a video by NVS Audio placing a membrane over the amplifier tray. To keep water out.
Yesterday I paid a few hundred bucks to have 2 Soundigital 400.4 EVOX amplifiers repaired due to corrosion from water exposure. Now I think I should look into this waterproof membrane. Not entertaining the thought of replacing my current amplifiers for marine grade amplifiers. Anyone use the vapor barrier, membrane, Carlos talked about? Any other recommendations other than don't get it wet! LOL!

309 Customs sells them for like $50. Look them up on Facebook.

I use Glad Press N Seal on my SD amps on my Indian (fairing is not sealed like Harley) and put over the electrical connections. Worked well so far.

Won't that melt? The amps have to breathe to stay cool.
